Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014016553A1] An inlet assembly for a burner and a method are disclosed. The inlet assembly for a burner comprises: a manifold having an inlet aperture and a coaxially aligned outlet aperture, the manifold having a nozzle bore extending along a longitudinal axis between the inlet aperture and the outlet aperture for conveying an effluent gas from an inlet pipe coupleable with the inlet aperture to the outlet aperture for delivery to a combustion chamber of the burner; a nozzle bore scraper housed within the nozzle bore; and an actuator operable to reciprocate the nozzle bore scraper relative to the nozzle bore, the nozzle bore scraper reciprocating along the longitudinal axis within the nozzle bore between a rest position and an actuated position to reduce effluent gas deposits within the nozzle bore. The provision of the nozzle bore, which avoids directional changes, reduces the likelihood of deposits occurring. Also, movement of the nozzle bore scraper relative to the nozzle bore between rest and actuated positions causes the nozzle bore scraper to scrape effluent deposits within the nozzle bore. This helps to prevent clogging with deposits or residues which would otherwise impair the operation of the burner by restricting or impairing the flow of the effluent gas into the combustion chamber or by influence the chemistry of the combustion occurring within the burner.
